A setup that is kind of special ;)

How did you mount the smb-share? smbfs, cifs?
Is there anything else inside the share? (Should not ...)
I assume that amcheck is not able to determine the actual free space
on that share.

Permissions on the mountpoint?

You could patch amcheck.c to remove the line that prints the WARNING.
Somewhat brutal, but effective.
